Hello friends! I hope you’re all doing well! I’m delighted to be here in this creative space to show you one of my useful creations from this week.

I’ve made a lamp using reusable materials that you can easily find at home, using cardboard as the main base.

Materials

  • LED bulb
  • bases from fans that no longer work
  • Plug
  • Cellophane tape
  • Screws

Step by Step

Starting with the base of the bulb, mark its outline onto the cardboard to create the base for our LED bulb. Then draw a circle right in the centre to allow the threaded part to be inserted into the socket; seal with hot glue and then attach the socket and plug to the back.

From this point, we’re going to form four trapezoidal shapes, following the measurements of the base and a desired height; I made mine approximately 15 inches.

I then added the base made from old fans to create the base for my lamp. It’s a very useful lamp and, although the design is still a bit rustic, you can already see how practical it is and it turned out perfectly well.

Thank you very much for stopping by to have a look. Also, if you want a better design, we should line the inside with aluminium foil or reflective foam.*

Partiendo de la base del bombillo debemos marcar sobre el carton la base de este para poder crear el soborte de nuestra bombila led. Luego hacemos un circulo justo en ele centro que permita luego introducir la parte que vas enroscada en el sócate, sellamos con silicon caliente y luego agregamos en la zona trasera el socate y el enchufe.

Desde esta pase vamos a formar 4 formas de trapecio siguiendo las medidas de la base y una altura deseada, yo la hice de 15" aproximadamente.

Luego agregué la base de ventiladores viejos para crear la base de mi lampara. Es una lampara muy util y a pesar de que el diseño aun esta en modo rustico ya se le ve la utilidad y quedó perfectamente bien.

Muchas gracias por pasar a ver, tambien si quieren un mejor diseño debemos pegarle por dentro con auminio o foami reflector.
